In 1997 Daniel Negreanu won two events at the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods, earning himself $133,600 as well as being named the tournament's best all-around player. A year later Negreanu wins a World Series of Poker bracelet ($169,460) at the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold'em event and becoming the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in history — a record he held until 2004. That's why his nickname is: Kid Poker. Over the next few years, he became one of the most successful poker tournament players in history, winning two World Poker Tour (WPT) events, another two World Series bracelets, and appearing at 11 final tables. He was also named the World Series of Poker player of the year in 2004. Some of Negreanu’s success is often attributed to his ability to read opponents. When asked about this skill, Negreanu explains the most important aspect he employs is observing what hands his opponents play and how capable they are of playing them.
Besides his professional poker career Daniel Negreanu has written over 100 articles for CardPlayer Magazine and contributed to Doyle Brunson's Super System II. Because of his positive influence at the table he appeares a lot in pokershows. You could see Kid Poker in shows as Late Night Poker, Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker and Ultimate Poker Challenge (as a commentator and stand-in host).
